A little bit of a side topic, but how do people feel about a hardware dsp such as Linea asc48, or other pro studio controllers? No room correction, but frequency and timing control. Not sure about the AD/DA conversion, really no idea how to compare
From what I've been told everything can be manually controlled afterwards, thus one isn't locked to the auto correction.Does anybody know, perhaps from previous DEQX models how flexible the software is for delay, crossover slope, etc? They seem to be wanting to make it very turn key, user friendly, but do we know how much manual adjustment is allowed. I’m assuming not a Acurate or even Audiolense level of manual, but does DEQX allow you to tweak settings to a reasonable level?
Thanks

I think this combination is the best. Some need the auto correction and thats important to have from a commercial standpoint. But having the ability to also manually control everything can raise the result in many cases and is important for both speaker designers and DIYers.

I'd happily take a complete unit at half price, in the name of supporting them, but it would have to be a production unit, not a pre-production unit.
Is that what you meant by "prototype", Keith_W?
I have been after a plug-in DSP solution for my passives, but am heading towards a fully-active system- this covers both options!

Waiting for mine. No word yet on when it will be shipped, except "soon."Wondering if anyone has received a beta pre-8 yet?
I've heard that what DEQX is doing in the cloud would take days on an Apple M2 Ultra or an Intel i9-14900k. So there's that.
There's an awful lot of misunderstanding on display in this thread.
One of the main features of the DEQX is the software. It's not just about DSP. Even if you can write your own DSP code, how are you going to turn whatever measurements you make into DSP that can, for example, correct group delay? And as far as running DSP on a PC- again, it's not just about flattening FR - there's a lot of time-domain corrections to be made, which can't be done across the audio band on a MiniDSP and I wonder if people know how to do that with DSP on a Mac.... The DEQX takes a set of measurements made by the DEQX and an Earthworks mic* (not some Dayton Audio junk) and processes them on some high-powered cloud-based system, not in a less capable PC or a MAC. Then the solution is downloaded to the DEQX for implementation in DSP. I've heard that what DEQX is doing in the cloud would take days on an Apple M2 Ultra or an Intel i9-14900k. So there's that.
The other issues with PC based DSP are latency and noise. If you are using your 2-channel system for left front and right front audio for TV or movies, you'll have some picture sync issues trying to use PC based DSP if you are doing anything very complex. Hardware DSP is always faster than software. And many audio systems that contain a computer (Mac or PC) will have some amount of noise intruding into them - those switching supplies in computer generate serious hash all the way up into the low microwave spectrum. How many setups like those are going to have the -140 dB noise floor of the DEQX? ( And we know how excited Amirm gets about these impossibly low noise floors... he seems to think it matters in a playback system, and who am I to disagree?)
That is some claim. Any evidence more solid than "I heard"?
You could get around the high price tag of say the Pre-8 by generating a profile with one in your setup and then returning it to some centralized lender. The lender would then process any additional music you send them using your sound profile and rip them from the digital outs before sending back to you. Of course if you got new speakers and/or a new space you would have to rent additional time with the box.
I'm sure this would violate something legal with DEQX... but it would be difficult for them to pursue legal action in every country they sell units(that's if they caught wind of it somehow).
